Just a quick update on my plans to attend the 129 AES Convention in San Francisco November 3rd through 7th. The Audio Engineering Society Conventions are nothing like a traditional high-end audio show. There are vendors demonstrating equipment at AES, but the the event is much more about knowledge, engineering and the direction of the audio industry. At first blush this show may not readily appear relevant to many audiophiles. However, a glance at the workshops, tutorials, master classes, platinum events, and technical tours is enough to get any audiophile and music aficionado excited. Plus, the opportunity to discuss the future of high resolution music, downloads, and computer audio with the engineers involved and the companies capable of offering this content is priceless. I plan to attend a high resolution computer based playback session that includes panelists, among others, Daniel Weiss from Weiss Engineering and Andy McHarg from <i>d</i>CS. Read more for a look at some of the sessions taking place at the 129th AES Convention in San Francisco.
